A federal judge has struck down a Biden administration program for illegal aliens who are married to US citizens. In a three-paragraph decision, Federal District Judge for the Eastern District of Texas J. Campbell Barker (a Trump appointee, and yes, that does make a difference) ruled that the program the administration rolled out in June 2024 “lack statuary authority under 8 U. S. C. § 11821(d)(5)(A) itself (as opposed to under other provisions modifying or supplementing that authority) to grant parole “in place” to aliens” under the benign-sounding “Keeping Families Together” program.
The “Keeping Families Program” was challenged by Texas and a coalition of 15 other states soon after its announcement, and Judge Barker halted it in August. Today, he drove a stake through its heart.
